Question

The distance of separation between two bodies affects the magnitude of the non-contact force between them such that

• A. Magnitude of non-contact forces are directly proportional to the square of distances between the 2 bodies
• B. Magnitude of non-contact forces are inversely proportional to the square of distances between the 2 bodies
• C. Magnitude of non-contact forces are inversely proportional to the distance between the 2 bodies
• D. Magnitude of non-contact forces are directly proportional to the distance between the 2 bodies

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Magnitude of non-contact forces are inversely proportional to the square of distances between the 2 bodies

Magnitude of non-contact forces between 2 bodies is inversely proportional to the square of distances between them.
